I have this issue where whenever I record with ANY software, so it's definitely something with my computer as many different mics do the same (As well as the INGAME sound being echoey when recorded aswell). The issue is that whenever I speak or record a clip, the sound will sound very "echoey", it doesnt repeat but it almost sounds like I'm in a room with a bit too much space and it's bouncing around, but I know this isn't true. I know about the fan sound, I'd remove that later and that isn't the problem, I'm using a USB soundcard and this is also not the issue as the mic plugged directly into the computer also has the same issue. I uninstalled realtek audio and still, the same issue persists.

Here's a small clip of my voice with the microphone as any "fix" I've looked at has not helped.

You can hear it very clearly when I say the word "test" or say the letter S, it's almost as if the letter is hissing into the microphone, and no I don't think this is an issue where I need a pop filter.
 
It sounds like you have two microphones recording at the same time, such as a headset and a webcam. make sure yoiu have only one device selected by right clicking the speaker icon in the bottom right corner and selecting recording devices.

If that is not the problem throw a blanket over your head and test with it on top of you. that will eliminate any room echo and if that fixes it get some paintings or something.

Secondly go to windows recording devices settings select the microphone and click properties. turn off any effects that are being applied then go to advanced and disable audio enhancements.

Already done the recording devices and enhancements before. Also blanket didn't help.
 


What program are you using to record? shadowplay for example is notorious for being terrible with USB microphones.
 


I'm using a 3.5mm headphone connector into a USB adapter as said in OP. I've tried using AMD relive, dxtory AND OBS and the problem is there with all of them.
